$250,000 to buy a tiny campground for some cringe instagram photos?

  Theoretically, should be able to sell it to someone else for $250k later. So it really only costs the carrying, transaction, and time value. Seems like a small price for someone giving this a serious effort.

    Is the market for other people wanting to spend $250,000 on a tiny island campground really that big? Kudo's to whoever sold the island, but honestly I'm not seeing how this will end well for anyone involved.

      It's already ended well for most of them because they've had fun. A $3000 investment, plus whatever it takes to get there. A quick look shows a $500 round trip ticket from NYC to Belize City, then whatever it costs for the relatively short boat ride to the island. It's really not that much money for an interesting vacation to visit your own island.

        Except it’s in no way your own island. I’m not sure I’d pay $3,000 to have the privilege of visiting a tiny island to make believe it’s “my own”.
